Napoli vs Cremonese Predictions
Napoli’s defensive control meets a blunt Cremonese attack
Napoli have kept two clean sheets in their last four matches, and that defensive return frames the home side’s outlook here. The Maradona has also brought results, with four wins in the last six home Serie A games, a sequence that keeps the margin for error small for visiting sides.
Cremonese arrive with attacking issues that are hard to ignore. They have failed to score in their last two matches, and across those games their combined expected goals stayed below one. That lack of output stretches a little further too, with three blanks in their last six away league fixtures.
There is also a wider run weighing on them. Only one win in the last 19 matches has dragged them into the relegation battle, and trips to top-seven sides have yielded just four points from six games. That away return sits within the same range and does little to shift expectations.
Napoli’s recent setback, a 2-0 home defeat to Lazio, ended any lingering title defence hopes. Still, they have not lost back-to-back league games since December 2023, a detail that keeps this spot aligned with a response rather than a slide.
Given the clean-sheet frequency and Cremonese’s scoring drought, Napoli to win to nil makes plenty of appeal at 1.95.

A familiar scoreline within a narrow scoring range
Napoli won 2-0 in Cremona earlier this season, and that result offers a clear reference for the shape of this meeting. It sits within a consistent scoring band rather than an outlier.
Cremonese have conceded more than twice in only one of their last six away league matches. That defensive ceiling holds across this stretch, even while results have been poor. At the same time, they failed to score in three of those six games, keeping outcomes within a limited range.
Napoli’s home record, with four wins from six, often lands inside controlled margins rather than high-scoring swings. The recent 2-0 loss to Lazio shows a tighter pattern can still hold even in defeat, rather than opening into wider scorelines.
And while Scott McTominay has scored three times in his last eight appearances for Napoli, adding a supporting threat, the overall scoring spread remains compact rather than expansive.
The earlier 2-0 meeting and Cremonese’s away scoring blanks keep that exact score firmly in play, and Napoli 2-0 could be worth a look at 6.00.
